Hi ,

I can easily open a long serve with a counterhit either from my backhand or forehand but whenever I tried to open a long serve by forehand topspin turning from my backhand to do a forehand topspin it either goes into the net or goes out of the table. So, can you please give me some tips on how can I improve this .

Hi Tushar,

You might not be getting a good contact on your topspin.  I would spend some time working on your topspin stroke.  It will also be a matter of watching the spin on the serve and adjusting your stroke for the different types of spins they are putting on the serve.
